I see you live in Texas. Send it to Shilen. They usually have very fast turnaround.
I would think that Gretan Rifles should be able to get it back in about a week. That is what it takes to have the fireing pin hole repaired.

that is a pretty big "just"...
as in not interfering with lug rotation and not interfering with lug to reciever fit so as to not screw up headspace...

Bill,
Either Greg Tannel (Gretan) or Shilen. DON'T waste your time on trying it yourself.
I am sure there are a lot of others who could do it, but I KNOW that
1: Shilen and Greg know what they are doing and
2: you will not ever have this problem again on that bolt and
3: you will be happy w/ the turn-around

It'll look like it never broke. Probably get it back in about a week. Maybe a little longer with the holidays? And Dan is a real good guy to work with.
A blown primer and a little work with a rubber mallet did the number on my XP bolt handle.
Dan to the rescue.

Remington puts on more out of timing than anyone...
It is not just putting the handle on... It is putting it on right. that means both the cocking piece needs to be in the right position and the primary extraction has to be correct. There also needs to be bilateral contact with the internal lugs.
The differance in silver soldering and tigging on the bolt handles. With silver solder there is a bond between the bolt and bolt handle made with silver solder. Both the bolt and handle are heated enough to make the solder bond. (lots of heat) With tigging the two parts are bonded by melting them together with their own materials and the addtition of steel or stainless steel. The tungsten used to create the arc is sharpened to a fine point. The arc is surrounded in a argon shield. (the heat is very focused) There also should be an argon purge used to keep the surrounding (internal) metal from being affected by the heat produced at the arc zone.
I know Dan armstrong does his bolt handles and bolts in a simular fassion. I was and can do my own bolts. I send my bolts to Dan because he has the fixtures and experience of doing many of them. Time is money, and I can be doing machining work and pay Dan to do the welding. I have the confidence it will be done right when I get it back in less than 10 days.
Some folks don't like Dan becsause he tells you like it is... I like that because I always know where I stand. If he sees a problem or does nto think the bolt and bolt handle are compatible he will pack it up and send it back to you.
I have never had one problem from one of Dans welds.

Nat I sure as heck hope you aren't stating that Stan Ware puts bolt handles on out of time....That would not be very professional of you...
Again. Merry Christmas,
